1927.11.15 November 15 1927

November 15, 1927 An open meeting of the Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club was held in the Unitarian Parish House November fifteenth, the President presiding. Attention of the members of the Club was called by Mrs. Rees to the pictures and postcards of the Loring Greenough House which are for sale. Mrs. George Derby appealed to the members to join the Red Cross. We should renew our membership as we must not fall below the five million dollar memberships. Mrs. Russell S. Hyde, Chairman of the Social Service and Legislative Department, introduced Mrs. Alice Pattison Merritt, the speaker, whose subject was "Pioneering in Politics." Mrs. Merritt, as the first woman senator of Connecticut, has found that men are not superior in politics but that they have had more experience, that women are not interested in politics and that they must change their practices, that they should be interested in their neighbors and they must think of the generations to come. The problem is to choose men and women of character who are to be our executives. The speaker gave us as the keynote of good womanhood that we cannot have a good home unless we attend to the

other things. Tea was served in the Loring Greenough House by Mrs. Blackmer, Mrs. Gordon, Mrs. Grabill and Mrs. Robinson at the tables decorated with yellow chrysanthemums and yellow candles.

Respectfully submitted, Blanche U. Eldridge Rec. Sec.
